Vegan Black Metal Chef, episode 1 , it should be little surprise that episode 2 is already clocking up some major views on YouTube. What may be more of a surprise, to those who think of Black Metal as nothing but doom and gloom at least, is that the Vegan Black Metal Chef (aka Brian Manowitz) is actually pretty witty—in his own not-so-understated-way way. This time around he is making comfort food of the ages&mdas;mashed potatoes, baked beans and corn. And, true to form, he shows the potatoes no mercy.
